Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 6 - 8 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (100g)
  • 1 1/3 cup pitted dates (220g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder
  • optional heaping 1/8 tsp salt (I always add this)
  • optional chocolate chips or broken-up chocolate bar
  • optional chia seeds, shredded coconut, etc.

Instructions

  • *Medjool dates tend to be softer. If your dates are hard or dry, soak them in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them.
    Process all the ingredients in a high-quality food processor until fine crumbles form. (A blender technically works, but texture will be stickier and tougher.) Smush into bars – I like to transfer the crumbles to a ziploc bag and roll out the dough from inside the bag. Chocolate chips can be added before or after processing, and feel free to experiment with different nut combinations.
